Taeein had a dream.
A colorful snake wound around Taeein’s leg and climbed up, wrapping itself around his arms. It was so vivid, almost like reality.
Staring blankly at the ceiling, Taeein slowly sat up.
A familiar yet unfamiliar scene unfolded before him.
“Where is this?”
The furniture and decorations were the same, but it felt like the house had changed. Taeein, after checking outside the window, grinned.
The child making a snowman in the garden was undoubtedly Arin.
“Did I come here after drinking with Nokhyun yesterday?”
Taeein had drinks with Nokhyun yesterday in a street stall. They talked about this and that, and he fell asleep, leaning on Nokhyun’s shoulder in the back seat of his car.
He couldn’t remember anything since then.
It was strange. Although it was his hometown, the interior was decorated like a newlywed’s bedroom.
The pajamas Taeein was wearing were also from the newlywed house.
Taeein stopped speculating and opened the door. He needed to see with his own eyes what had happened.
Before descending all the way down the stairs, a pleasant laughter reached Taeein’s ears.
Then the laughter abruptly stopped.
It seemed deliberate, as if someone had closed their mouths after hearing Taeein’s footsteps.
Taeein cautiously went downstairs. When he entered the dining room to find the source of the sound, it happened.
Fireworks exploded, and various colored strings fell over Taeein’s head.
Former market vendors, now Taeein’s house staff, and all of Taeein’s family were gathered.
“Happy birthday, Unni!”
Arin, who was making a snowman in the garden until now, shouted first.
Taeein was dumbfounded.
Was today my birthday? Taeein scratched his head.
Oh, it’s Christmas Eve.
Taeein’s birthday was on Christmas Eve. Every year on Christmas Eve, among the happy people, he felt like the only one left alone. So he ignored it more.
Balloons stuck to the wall, a table full of food, and people dressed up with party hats. It was just like a birthday party from when he was a child.
Taeein, whose lips were twisted, eventually burst into tears like a child. Bewildered Nokhyun hugged Taeein and asked.
“No, why are you doing this without saying anything?”
In Nokhyun’s arms, Taeein sobbed like a child.
It was the first time since he was a child.
No one had ever taken care of him, and Taeein himself never celebrated his own birthday, so it felt strange.
What am I saying? What is a birthday?
Seeing people in the same party hats again, Taeein teared up once more.
“Taeein, I made seaweed soup and japchae!”
Eunseon shyly spoke to Taeein.
“I learned a lot from Manager Min. For this birthday, I wanted to prepare it myself.”
Eunseon, who had spent long days confined to the hospital, couldn’t take care of her daughter’s birthday, so she felt regretful.
So, she learned diligently with Yesul. As a result, she could make seaweed soup and japchae with her own hands.
“This was made by my husband and me together!”
The cake was made by Nokhyun, and Arin drew the picture on top of the cake. With the efforts of both, a quite impressive birthday cake was completed.
“What’s this again?”
The tears that Taeein barely held back from the birthday table burst out when he saw his face drawn on the cake.
As Nokhyun lit the cake, everyone began singing the birthday song.
“Happy birthday, happy birthday. Happy birthday to our beloved Taeein!”
After the chorus ended, Taeein, with his mouth round like an ‘O,’ blew out the candles, making a wish.
Childhood memories flashed faintly. Memories of having a birthday party with parents and grandparents.
Young Taeein, holding a doll, blew out the candles on the cake.
It created memories as happy and nostalgic as back then.
During the brief moment of blowing out the candles, Taeein made a wish.
Hoping that this wish, more than any other, would come true, Taeein opened his tightly closed eyes.
⭐⭐⭐
Taeein devoured seaweed soup, rice, and dessert with gusto.
What Taeein wanted most was to spend time with his family.
Having been materially sufficient, it was the best gift.
After finishing the meal, he went to Bongandang with his father. Next to his father’s solo picture, he placed a family photo and Arin’s picture.
Taeein conveyed the stories that had accumulated during that time.
How his father had managed and raised a large company and led countless employees. It was truly amazing and admirable.
Even though he worked hard while sacrificing sleep, he always faced limitations.
Back then, Taeein resented his father for being busy with work, but now he found it simply impressive.
I’m sorry for not recognizing and resenting you.
Thank you, and I love you.
Taeein wiped away the tears forming in his eyes.
“Honey, we’re here.”
Eunseon shed tears but forced a smile as if to show her husband.
“Our Arin has grown a lot, hasn’t she? We were so happy to see her in the ultrasound picture.”
Eunseon reminisced about that time.
Thinking of her husband who couldn’t see the much-wanted second child and suffered from the thoughts of her husband, her heart ached as if it were torn.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
